“The moral of the story is simple: Test code is just as important as production code. It is not a second-class citizen. It requires thought, design, and care. It must be kept as clean as production code.”
Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

Alla Kholmatova
“Creating consistency is like making small promises throughout the interface (when you see a pink button it is always an action; the “Cancel” button always comes before “Submit”). When people can be confident of what will happen, they can rely on the product. Consistency helps to build trust.”
Alla Kholmatova, Design Systems

Robert C. Martin
“Code at the boundaries needs clear separation and tests that define expectations. We should avoid letting too much of our code know about the third-party particulars. It’s better to depend on something you control than on something you don’t control, lest it end up controlling you.”
Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

Erich Gamma
“Design patterns should not be applied indiscriminately. Often they achieve flexibility and variability by introducing additional levels of indirection, and that can complicate a design and/or cost you some performance. A design pattern should only be applied when the flexibility it affords is actually needed.”
Erich Gamma, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software

John       Bolton
“It is difficult beyond description to pursue a complex policy in a contentious part of the world when the policy is subject to instant modification based on the boss’s perception of how inaccurate and often-already-outdated information is reported by writers who don’t have the Administration’s best interests at heart in the first place. It was like making and executing policy inside a pinball machine, not the West Wing of the White House.”
John R. Bolton, The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir
